Working with Basic Elements

For basic types, the method names of these types can be used. When accessing arrays or matrices, the index operator [] can be used in a C-like manner.

Since the method names of a user-defined type depend on the expander, the method of user-defined types can only be called with the knowledge of the exact generated function name for that method. In the above example the function name QX040H28HJ8HAMDJ870S4G7MDIBQQLSM_calc is generated for the method calc.

When using elements defined in ASCET, these elements are of a model type (either basic or user-defined). Basic types have the following default implementation, which is taken on the physical level:

The default implementation is replaced by the user-defined implementation when switching the specification level (e.g. fixed point code). Elements of model type logical can be represented for instance as a bit, and can therefore not be used as a number in the C code.
